JIT Partnerships
JIT partnerships exist when a
supplier and purchaser work
together to remove waste and drive
down costs
Four goals of JIT partnerships are:
Removal of unnecessary activities
Removal of in-plant inventory
Removal of in-transit inventory
Improved quality and reliability

Concerns of Suppliers
Diversification – ties to only one customer
increases risk
Scheduling – don’t believe customers can
create a smooth schedule
Changes – short lead times mean
engineering or specification changes can
create problems
Quality – limited by capital budgets,
processes, or technology
Lot sizes – small lot sizes may transfer
costs to suppliers

JIT Layout
Reduce waste due to movement
JIT Layout Tactics
Build work cells for families of products
Include a large number operations in a small area
Minimize distance
Design little space for inventory
Improve employee communication
Use poka-yoke devices
Build flexible or movable equipment
Cross-train workers to add flexibility

Reduce Lot Sizes
Ideal situation is to have lot sizes
of one pulled from one process to
the next
Often not feasible
Can use EOQ analysis to calculate
desired setup time
Two key changes necessary
Improve material handling
Reduce setup time

Reduce Setup Costs
60 min —
Move material closer and
Step 2 improve material handling
(save 20 minutes)
45 min —
Standardize and
Step 3 improve tooling
(save 15 minutes)
25 min —
Use one-touch system to eliminate
Step 4
adjustments (save 10 minutes)
15 min —
Training operators and standardizing 13 min —
Step 5 work procedures (save 2 minutes)
Figure 16.6 Step 6 Repeat cycle until subminute —
setup is achieved

JIT Scheduling
Schedules must be communicated
inside and outside the organization
Level schedules
Process frequent small batches
Freezing the schedule helps
stability

Kanban
Kanban is the Japanese word for card
The card is an authorization for the next
container of material to be produced
A sequence of kanbans
pulls material through
the process
Many different sorts of
signals are used, but
the system is still called
a kanban

Kanban
1. User removes a
standard sized
container
2. Signal is seen by
the producing
department as
authorization to
replenish
